I stood up for you when you married
Thought you were one lucky guy
You had the world in your pocket
She had that look of love in her eye

Called me at one in the morning
To tell me what youÂ’re going through
ItÂ’s not working out like you wanted
IÂ’m not the one to be telling this to

‘Cause brother when you say she’s not all that you dreamed of
I say youÂ’re dreaming too much
‘Cause I know she’s more than some damn fool deserves
I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love
Yes, I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love

IÂ’ve watched her raising your children
She was there when the going got tough
Just when she needed your loving
You strung her along on just barely enough

So brother when you say sheÂ’s not all that you dreamed of
I say youÂ’re dreaming too much
‘Cause I know she’s more than some damn fool deserves
I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love

And if I had your luck this time
YouÂ’d be gone, sheÂ’d be mine
All of my friends would say
There goes that lucky guy

Brother when you say sheÂ’s not all that you dreamed of
I say youÂ’re dreaming too much
‘Cause I know she’s more than some damn fool deserves
I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love

Yes, I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love
Oh, I know sheÂ’s somebodyÂ’s love
